Good

Very good. Well paced. Great foreshadowing. Narration very well done. Would recommend for fans of Craig Alanson.

really good

in a lot of books that have been released in the last couple years I have had issues with immersion. authors saying things that don't make sense like plasma shards or changing the fuel source of equipment like power armor in the next book.
this author has a grip on the world he creates and describes it efficiently and effectively. I appreciate it.

It did what I wanted—to enjoy characters & action

I winced at the moderate to mild cussing, because Mom would walk past my room when I played it loud. She’s almost 85, so it’s about time she learns to ignore it, like people who had to work in the real world; I personally prefer to not hear it myself. Nicely done story; 3 volumes long, with fairly decent narrator. Loved Dog’s versatility.

Another exceptionally well written series by R.P.

First allow me to admit that I've come to think of Rick Partlow as one of the best sci-fi authors currently writing. So, this review is coming from the perspective of having listened to most of his other works and having great appreciation for them. This is top notch storytelling. It is different from his other works, but easily just as enjoyable, and may be my favorite of all his work. That's really saying something.

He also seems to either have a great producer who knows how to pick the perfect narrator, or he himself selects one with the precision to matching a narrator with the story perfectly. This series is no exception and the narrator is so good that you forget he's not part of the story when narrative perspective changes. The combination of excellent writing with smooth performance is a great experience and I want to thank them for having such dedication to their craft.

In short, listen to this. I can't imagine anyone not enjoying this greatly.

Fun and packed

This was a really good read. The characters are endearing and silly. The plot is a bit predictable but has its twist. The fun and playfulness keeps the story worth reading and I caught myself laughing out loud a few times.

The old west with a sci-fi flair

I liked the action, and adventure. It kept me engaged throughout the series. There is a little bit of romance and a little bit of self reflection, but not too much. I enjoy stories that are not to gloomy, or to metaphysical and just straightforward fun.

Great narration, great author

I really enjoyed the series. I am very pleased that it came in a set.
The story unfolded in layers while introducing new, likable characters, and some very bad opponents. The MC is a by the book guy with decent morals, and he has to deal with people harshly when needed, but with some consternation. His friend Dog is a funny, crass, robot badass. He meets up with a naval intelligence officer who is very tough in her own right and both work very well together to save the human race.

Start to finish Awesome

I enjoyed the series from beginning to end. It has a great story and awesome narrator. They didn't go into hard scifi but describe enough to keep things intelligent and fun. It does have some vulgarity and adult situations that run the gambit of normal R rated movies but does not have any explicit sex scenes (has a few but doesn't get explicit).

Fun SIFI

This was a very interesting SIFI series. I wish there was more to his story and hope that Rick might continue the story.

I liked it so much. I bought another book by Partlow.

I bought this as the four book package because I thought I had listened to something by Mr. Parlow before. It was a good price. It was a good purchase, except for a couple plot holes in the last two books. These books were interesting, entertaining and occasionally funny all the way through. I recommended it highly. And I’m going to start a new one.
